Naked - As Nature Intended

Alternative title
As Nature Intended
Synopsis
Documentary. Naturist film incorporated into a travelogue about the Cornish countryside. Features footage of actor Stuart Samuels rehearsing for a production of Hamlet at the Minack open-air theatre in Cornwall. This is staged for the film, not a genuine production, and supposed to be humorous, with Samuels gesticulating exaggeratedly. Three young women, who are travelling to Cornwall and eventually end up in a naturist resort, stop off at the theatre and chat to the producer - a fictional one, played by the film’s producer/director Harrison Marks.
Commentary by Guy Kingsley-Pointer.
